i can't exactly tell you what to do because I personally suffer from the same problem in essentially every corporate endeavor i seek. however, that being said, i can give you a lot of things not to do:
-don't not admit that you're overwhelmed when you are. if you keep it inside it'll just compound your feelings.
-if you don't know what to do, don't just not do anything or waste your time on social media. bite the bullet and ask someone.
-don't ever discourage the way you feel entirely. that sense of shame and anxiety does serve a purpose: it motivates you to want to change. for me, i just took it for granted and assumed it couldn't be changed.
-don't actively hide from seeking feedback from your higher ups. if you're that worried about your progress and your contributions, then it only makes sense to seek further information.
-beyond that, don't hide from seeking feedback from fellow employees. they've been there longer than you chances are and they're a lot easier to approach than a supervisor or a boss because it's easy to convince yourself that everything is on the line if you admit to the person who hired you that you're struggling to integrate. the point is: find someone you're comfortable opening up to and do it.
i managed to ride a wonderful job as a software developer for cpanel into the ground after only three months because I just couldn't let myself integrate (not to mention that was the midge of my severe drug addiction period so that also contributed to my downfall). i know how you feel now may suck but it'll be infinitely worse if you let it define you and become the reason you no longer have a job. you clearly have some potential to do it otherwise you wouldn't be there. all you have to do is accept that and understand that growing pains are natural. u got this :^)
